Yesterday was a day to regroup after the event. I had a great meeting with the staff of The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. We have work to do but we will get it done. I am ready to push this as hard as we have to in order to make an impact and overall change for paralyzed people.
Today I have meetings in NYC for Cafe Martorano's and will see some friends. Tomorrow I start to head south with my first stop at International Center for Spinal Cord Injury Kennedy Krieger Outpatient Center (OPC)at John Hopkins.
About Me
- Alan T. Brown
- MY ACCIDENT Twenty-one years in a wheelchair…so hard to believe. On January 2, 1988 I was lying in the surf in Martinique, the undertow had pulled my legs out from under me and flipped me upside down onto the hard sand. Face down under the water and unable to breathe I knew something was dramatically wrong. I was in the prime of my life and now immobile...nothing moved. I was paralyzed. How could this have happened? My life flashed in front of me...playing ice hockey, walking around New York City, running races in Central Park, throwing baseballs . . .In a split second my life changed forever. At the age of 21--a quadriplegic -confined to a wheelchair. How would I continue?
